Customer review for XIOM Zetro Quad

External Review for XIOM Zetro Quad on December 23, 2016

Mine is a ST handle that is extra wide weighs 89.2g & measured 7.25mm thick! The hinoki top layer is pretty thick. This blade is fast but not too fast; just ideal for competition. The amount of spin it produces is enormous. Besides the good spin, this blade can produce wide range of speed: from slow touch shots to medium fast loop shots to very fast smashing shots. Smashes are fast & spinny and also harder to return due to the curvy trajectory and somewhat inconsistent due to the graphite kicking in @ 2nd gear. The sound pitch & volume changes as the graphite layer is kicking in, making a loud popping sound. When I played with other blades before, I tried to hit hard to win the point. But with this blade, I don't have to hit that hard, but just try to loop side spin then watch my opponent miss hit. You can slow loop easily and aim for a wide angle shot with better placement because the ball will dip onto the table. The serves can be short but spinny so are the pushes. Prefer softer rubber for this blade like Razka7 Soft.
I am trying to decide which blade to be my main blade: Zetro Quad or Treiber Z, both are great for all around offensive strokes & game; XZQ has more spin vs Treiber Z slightly more speed & control. My rating:
Speed=9.2; Control=8.8; Sweetspot=large; Stiffness=7; Hardness=6; Feel=med hard; Balance=very good; Spin=9.3; Short Game=very good; Med Game=very good; Short Serve=excellent & spinny; Flicks=very easy; Push/Chop=very good; Throw=med; Flat hit=average; Block=excellent ; ST Handle=extra wide; Dwell=good; Loop=very good(grippy & secure); Drive=very good; Overall=9.5
